Plants vs Zombies 2 Released

Posted by Unknown On 8/16/2013 03:00:00 PM

As someone who enjoyed the crap out of the first Plants VS Zombies, I hope it will come to Android, as right now it's just an iOS game. From the PopCap Press Release:

"Designed as an ever-expanding universe that will offer regular updates including new worlds full of new plants, zombies and challenges beyond the first three that comprise the initial game, Plants vs. Zombies 2 extends the classic gameplay of the original and provides players with dozens of all-new levels, plants and zombies. While the vast majority of the game is entirely free to play (players can face every zombie and access every level in every world at no cost), Plants vs. Zombies 2 players can also purchase upgrades and other in-game items."

Geek.com article states to unlock all the CURRENT plants in the game, it will cost you $19. But with this model, we can expect many more plants, and because it's controlled by EA, not many sales.

Humble Origin (EA) Bundle

Posted by Unknown On 8/16/2013 12:45:00 PM

No one I know want's to ever give EA money. Well, with this Humble Bundle no one will.

"Origin loves charity. Origin and Electronic Arts Inc. are donating their share of the proceeds from this bundle to the following 5 great charities: the Human Rights Campaign; Watsi; the San Francisco AIDS Foundation; the American Red Cross; or the American Cancer Society. And if you're enjoying this promotion, a tip to Humble Bundle is greatly appreciated!"

Now granted, EA and Origin can boast about their sales volume numbers, accounts and installed games, but at least they won't get any of your money. If there was ever a time to buy something of EA's, now is the time.
